Yeah I know what you mean. I've been writing PHP commercially for nearly two 
years now, and TG is a 
breath of fresh air. It certainly makes a lot more sense than traditional 
approaches if you want to 
get something done fast. I don't know if I would use TG all apps, but I would 
definitely use it for 
a lot of apps in the future if I had the choice. Lack of reliable deployment 
without Cherrypy is a 
bit of a problem for selling it to my manager, but I have knocked up 
applications behind Apache with 
a reverse-proxy and no-one's noticed the difference (apart from "dude, why are 
you using tables for 
these forms?!")

I think for performance or mission critical operations I would use PHP, but 
I'll be doing a lot of 
TG applications in the future. Performance will always be a big issue for me 
with TG until I run 
some real tests on it. I'm just finishing up an ad-server which would have been 
much more suited to 
Python, but performance was a big consideration. It would be nice if Python had 
as many web-oriented 
features in the standard lib as PHP, but PHP has always been designed for the 
web so that's not 
surprising.

 From now on, I always write background processes in Python if they do any real 
work.
